TOY S AFE WITH PUZZLE-LOCK.

Specilicaiion forming part of Letters Patent No. 77',6fi0, dated May 5, 1868.

.To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that we, ABRAM WRIGHT and G ORGE EWEiGnnof Clinton, county of Worcester, and State of Massachusetts, have invented a new Toy Safe with a Puzzle-Lock;

.andwe do hereby declare that the following is afull and exact description thereof, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, and" to the letters of reference marked thereon.

The nature of our invention consists in constructing a toy in the similitude of a safe havinga door with a puzzle-lock upon it.

To enable others skilled in the art to make and useour-invention, we will proceed to describe its construction and operation.

Figure 1 is an upright front view of the safe with the door shut. Fig. 2 is an upright front View with the door open, showing the edge of door and lock. Fig. 3 is an upright view of the inside of door,with the cap to the lock'removed, to show its construction. Fig. 4 is a side view of the handle anddisk attached to it.

a is the d'oor,which swings upon the pivots at b b. a is the knob and-key to the door. 11

. is the bolt of the lock,which, fastens the door.

e isasmall upright bolt.- f is a disk attached to the knob 0, having upon one side of its periphery, a notch of the proper size to adinit the small bolt e.

Having thus lettered and referred to each part, we will now explain how they work together. When the door is shut and locked, the bolts (1 and e are in the'position shown in door-bolt (1 free to slide back-,when the'safe is I turned upon its side; then turn the safe upioii the side to which the door is hinged and the door is unlocked; and to-lock-the door againyou have only to turn the safe upon its oppo-i side side, and then sit it upright, and thebolts d ande are in the position 'asshown in Fig 3.; and We would not confine ourselves to this pe-f culiarly constructed I lock, for we havefiother puzzle-locks 'to apply, that a great varity of' puzzles may be produced, and thus make the toy safe more attractive and desirable as a puz'zle for all, both old and young.

Having thus described our invention, what we desire to secure by Letters Patent is The application of a puzzle-lock, when-cou strncted'a's herein shown and described, or. any other mechanical device which willproduce the same result to miniature or toy safes,

substantially as and for the purpose herein set forth ABRAM WEIGHT. GEo. F. EIGHT.
